Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for individual delivery of location-based multicast services are provided. One method may include receiving, by a session management node, information that a user equipment is participating in a multicast session, determining that the UE is served by a radio access node that does not support multicast sessions, and determining that the multicast session is only to be delivered to one or several service areas. In response to determining that the UE is served by a radio access node not supporting multicast and that the multicast session is only to be delivered to one or several service areas, the method further comprises subscribing to at least one notification from at least one access and mobility management node.

The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. A method performed by a first node in a wireless communication system, including receiving, from a second node, downlink user data through a first radio bearer, the downlink user data including multicast service data; transmitting, to at least one UE, the downlink user data through a second radio bearer; and transmitting, to the second node, a downlink data delivery status including PDCP sequence number information, wherein the PDCP sequence number information includes a higher PDCP sequence number between a highest PDCP sequence number successfully delivered in sequence associated with a first transmission mode and a highest PDCP sequence number transmitted to lower layers associated with a second transmission mode.

A mobile network platform creates a device group according to a member device supporting a mobile network multicast communication manner in a Machine-to-Machine Communications (M2M) group, generates an identifier of an external group corresponding to the device group, and requests a service capability exposure function (SCEF) to create the external group according to the identifier of the external group and an external device identifier of the member device supporting the mobile network multicast communication manner. When receiving an access request for the M2M group, the mobile network platform obtains the device group in the M2M group, learns of the corresponding external group, and then requests the SCEF to access the member device in the external group in a multicast communication manner. Hence, an amount of information generated due to interaction between an M2M platform and an M2M device is reduced, while reducing resource overheads.

Systems and methods are described for a cyber-physical vehicle management system generated by an Integrated Secure Device Manager (ISDM) Authority configured to manage licensing and approval of Cyber-Physical Vehicle (CPV)s, a public/private key pair and a unique ID for the Authority, create a self-signed Authority token signed by the private key, send the Authority token to a plurality of ISDM Node device configured to verify Module device authenticity and in communication with the Authority, store, by each Node, the Authority token, and mark, by each Node, the Authority token as trusted.

A donor communication station transmits a unicast transmission comprising a plurality of device data sets where each device data set directed to each of a plurality of user equipment (UE) devices. A relay node receives the unicast transmission and retransmits the data sets in a broadcast transmission over a broadcast communication channel to the plurality of UE devices. In one example, the donor communication station encodes data for multiple user equipment (UE) devices by applying broadcast encoding to the data for each device before applying outer encoding to the data. The dual encoded data is transmitted to the relay node over a dedicated channel. The relay node applies outer decoding to the dual encoded data to retrieve the broadcast encoded data. The relay node then transmits the broadcast encoded device data in a broadcast transmission without outer encoding.

An embodiment relates to a method for a first terminal operating in a wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of: transmitting application information from an application layer to a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) layer; generating, in the V2X layer, sidelink (SL) discontinuous reception (DRX) information on the basis of the application information; transmitting the SL DRX information from the V2X layer to an AS layer; and communicating with a second terminal by applying the SL DRX information in the AS layer, wherein the application information includes at least one application requirement.

Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing adaptive service areas for multicast session continuity. Embodiments of a method performed by a radio access node in a Radio Access Network (RAN) are disclosed. Such embodiments introduce mobility of User Equipments (UEs) participating in a multicast/broadcast service, which is managed by the RAN. This means that the broadcast area will dynamically adapt as participating UEs move and/or radio conditions change.
